One resident wrote: “There have been a shocking amount of violent assaults and public order incidents inside and especially outside the public house.

“My wife and I have never once witnessed anyone working inside the pub come outside to at least try to intervene are call the police.”

He said there had been fighting, shouting and criminal damage linked to the venue.

He went on to describe "intolerable" late night, noisy parties, regulars urinating in the street and litter.

The man wrote: “On countless occasions my family have been by woken screeching, intoxicated females and violent, aggressive, intoxicate males.”

The complaints relate to the pub when it had a different licensee, and not Mr Singh.

Abbey ward councillor Vijay Singh Ryait said he was aware of the concern the proposal to re-open the pub had caused.

He said: “I think it is important that residents' views about the anti-social behaviour, noise and fighting that was associated with previous licensee's running of the pub are taken into account.

“Following a mediation meeting with the new owners, I hope they will take into account a number of suggestions made by residents to help them promote the licensing objectives and avoid disruption to people's lives in the Beaumanor Road area."

Another neighbour told the council: “While the Broadway was open there were numerous occasions where cars were damaged while parked in residential streets.

“These acts of vandalism were being carried out by patrons either in temper or a very warped act of humour.

“Over the last decade the Broadway has been nothing but a source of stress for all the local residents and a total drain on police resources.

”I’m sure if you check the police incident reports you will notice the significant drop in call outs to the area since the closure.”

A documents submitted to the council says the premises would have a CCTV system with recording equipment, and that the images from the system would be "of evidential quality".

It adds that a member of staff trained to use the equipment would be on duty at all times, as the "recorded images must be made available for inspection and downloading upon request to officers of responsible authorities".

The document also states that the premises would "operate in accordance with all relevant legislation which promotes the prevention of public nuisance", such as customers being "encouraged to leave the premises in a quiet and orderly manner".

The police have not objected to the Broadway reopening.

The city council’s licensing committee will discuss the issue on Tuesday.
